Last Gang in Town: July 2007
http://lastgangintown.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Last Gang in Town. Vague and Inane Chatter on a Quasi-Regular Basis. Sunday, July 29, 2007. We're Learning for Free! Screenings of current theatrical releases? Friday, July 27, 2007. Peru 2: La Regressa! And our flight was indefinitely delayed once again. Not willing to waste another day in La Paz (which is actually fairly pleasant, my favorite of all the Latin American cities Ive visited with the possible exception of Panama City, but pleasant or no, we had exhausted the leisure possibilities the ci...

Last Gang in Town: August 2008
http://lastgangintown.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Last Gang in Town. Vague and Inane Chatter on a Quasi-Regular Basis. Friday, August 08, 2008. La Regressa del Rey. And so it ends, my latest Central American escapade. True to form, the final leg proved to be the most arduous, time-consuming, and soul-shattering travel day yet. The movie was predictably awful (although it did feature the loathsome Colin Hanks dissolved in a vat of battery acid), but it did succeed in finishing off the rest of our waiting time. Cab back to the airport where we found o...

Last Gang in Town. Vague and Inane Chatter on a Quasi-Regular Basis. Thursday, August 16, 2007. Okfirst off, did I spell "Halle-fucking-lujah" fight? In addition to Matt Greoning, Simpsons OGs James L. Brooks, Mike Scully, and John Swartzwelder are all among the credited writers. I wanted this movie to be good more than any movie since the Star Wars prequels. Unlike George "fuck my fans and my legacy" Lucas, Groening and his compatriots delivered on all counts. Monday, August 06, 2007. Embarking. Exh...

Last Gang in Town: In which our hero comes face to face with the death of irony in New China

Last Gang in Town. Vague and Inane Chatter on a Quasi-Regular Basis. Tuesday, July 13, 2010. In which our hero comes face to face with the death of irony in New China. Today I'd like to tell you a story about Zhongdian, a tiny little town in the western Yunan province of China. For many years Zhongdian looked enviously toward the south at its neighbors Dali and Lijiang and all of the coveted tourist dollars the two towns brought in every year. How can we get in on this calvacade of foreig money? And low ...

Last Gang in Town: July 2010
http://lastgangintown.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Last Gang in Town. Vague and Inane Chatter on a Quasi-Regular Basis. Friday, July 30, 2010. In which our hero struggles mightily yet ultimately fails to resist the urge to make a joke about "pandamonium". I like puns, sue me. Take your "wit" and your "satire" and your "biting social commentary." I like plays on words. Go ahead, try to be jaded about these guys. I dare you. Apparently bamboo is of little nutritional value, and as they lack stomachs, they are only able to actually digest 20 percent of what...

Last Gang in Town: In which our hero finally unlocks the secret of the Wu Tang*
http://lastgangintown.blogspot.com/2010/07/in-which-our-hero-finally-unlocks.html
Last Gang in Town. Vague and Inane Chatter on a Quasi-Regular Basis. Saturday, July 17, 2010. In which our hero finally unlocks the secret of the Wu Tang*. The bus ride to Lijiang alternated between beautiful and bucolic, and horrible and industrial. Followed a tributary of the Yangtze down the mountains past several different dam complexes culminating in the Southern China Power Grid station (according to the sign.). Cobblestone streets lit by red lanterns, with gurgling canals flowing through everythin...

Last Gang in Town: June 2007
http://lastgangintown.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Last Gang in Town. Vague and Inane Chatter on a Quasi-Regular Basis. Thursday, June 28, 2007. To recap any first timers, I´m currently taking spanish classes in Arequipa Peru, the country´s second largest city. At first glance, it´s your typical latin american urban center, crowded streets, and diesel fumes, but as you get to know the place it really grows on you. Tuesday, June 26, 2007. It´s only been a year, but here are some new posts from a trip to Peru and Bolivia I took with Chris.

Last Gang in Town. Vague and Inane Chatter on a Quasi-Regular Basis. Thursday, June 26, 2008. You Call These Mountains? Just got back from a brief 3 day excursion into New Hampshire's White Mountains. Waking up this morning, I felt like I had been thrown down several flights of stairs, a humbling sensation for someone such as myself who considers himself to be a quasi competent hiker and woodsman. Turns out that the White Mountains aren't the Andes, but that doesn't mean that they aren't demanding. You C...

Last Gang in Town. Vague and Inane Chatter on a Quasi-Regular Basis. Thursday, July 31, 2008. 200 years of Nicaraguan History in 200 words or less. Ok, to fully understand the next post, you need to read this post. Sorry, maybe it´s just the teacher in me. Here goes. Friday, July 25, 2008. Ascending Mt. Dagobah. As I am not a good enough writer to ¨show not tell,¨I will come right out and tell you that I am foreshadowing travel misery to come. And I switched seats immediately. The poor guy spent the ...
